Dustin Ryan-Nicholas Carlisle, 27, of Hartford, is facing felony charges of use of a computer to commit a crime and accosting children for immoral purposes, according to a Van Buren County Sheriff's Office press release.

The girl's mother contacted police when she found sexually explicit messages on her daughter's Facebook account. Carlisle had been chatting with the 12 year old several months, police say.

Police confiscated several pieces of electronics from Carlisle as part of the investigation.

He was arraigned this week and a preliminary examination was set for Oct. 11.

Police ask anyone with further information on this case to call the Van Buren County Sheriff's Office at 269-657-3101.
